Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, the company’s next flagship smartphone, has been spotted again on a benchmarking website. The handset, which is said to arrive with Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, has been listed on Geekbench with higher scores compared to previous benchmark tests.
Samsung has yet to confirm the arrival of the Galaxy S25 series, but the company recently confirmed that it would launch handsets with Qualcomm’s flagship processor.
The alleged smartphone was previously spotted on Geekbench in September with an unannounced processor that was believed to be the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 - Qualcomm has since unveiled the Snapdragon 8 Elite as its latest flagship chipset. At that time, the smartphone with the model number SM-S938U scored 3,069 points in the single-core test and 9,080 points in the multi-core test.

Galaxy S25 Ultra Benchmark Exceeds Expectations
A recent benchmark result for the purported Galaxy S25 Ultra hints that the smartphone could offer better performance than previously expected. The entry for the smartphone on Geekbench shows that it scored 3,148 points on the single-core test, and 10,236 points on the multi-core test.
This is a significant boost in performance compared to the listing that appeared on Geekbench two months ago. As per the entry for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, the smartphone will be packed with 12GB of RAM and run on Android 15 out of the box, along with Samsung’s revamped One UI 7 interface, which is not expected to break cover until early 2025.
In October, a tipster claimed that all three models expected to debut as part of the Galaxy S25 series would be equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Eite chip. However, a recent Geekbench listing for the alleged Galaxy S25+ model suggests that the handset could come packed with an unreleased processor from the company -- this could be the company’s Exynos 2500.
